ITP 114 Deployment
ITP-V 114 was deployed during the second ice station of the USCGC Healy's HLY1902 cruise. Ice draft was about 0.8m. This station was significantly shorter than the first one a couple days earlier as only a WHOI acoustic modem buoy was deployed in addition to the ITP-V. The ITP system was installed in record time as folks had selected and mastered specific tasks of the multi-staged deployment during the first deployment just a short while ago. An Artic Drifter (SVP) was placed on the ice as the last step before departing.
